Estonian and Russian Parental Attitudes to Childrearing and Play.

Saar, Aino; Niglas, Katrin

Early Child Development and Care, v168 p39-47 Aug 2001

Used Neukater and van der Kooji's parental attitude questionnaire to ask three groups of mothers (Estonian, non-Estonian in Estonia, Russians in Moscow) about their attitudes toward children's education and play. Found that Estonian mothers applied least control and that higher mother education resulted in less child control and instruction. (DLH)
